Dive Sites
Blue Lagoon
-Huntsville, Tx
A former limestone quarry, Blue Lagoon is a wonderful swimming hole that gives early access and priority to SCUBA divers. What’s more, divers are welcome to book campsites around one of two massive lagoons and start their days with a dive. Tank fills on site for both air and nitrox, as well as a small SCUBA shop provide for all of your needs during your trip.
Lake Longhorn
-League City, Tx
Family owned and operated lake hidden away just 45min outside of Houston. In addition to being a favorite of SCUBA divers in the area, triathletes from around the Houston Metro area flock to Lake Longhorn for training. Air fills are available on site and the separately operated SCUBA shop is well equipped to assist with any gear or training needs you may have.
Lake Mammoth
-Clute, Tx
One of few diving lakes in Texas where you can reach the depths required for Advanced Open Water training, this site also has numerous sunken treasures including a massive King Kong statue and a full C-130. This site is a little off the beaten path, but is well worth a trip for both recreational divers and pros looking to give their divers a unique local experience.
